Mapping the Landscape of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM): A Bibliometric Approach

This study employs a bibliometric approach to systematically map the intellectual structure and research evolution of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), addressing the absence of comprehensive quantitative reviews in the field. Using bibliographic data retrieved from the Web of Science database covering the period 2015–2024, the analysis applies citation analysis, co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence, and bibliographic coupling techniques through VOSviewer and Biblioshiny. Focusing on the Asian context, the study examines 198 peer-reviewed articles to identify dominant research themes, influential authors, leading journals, and regional collaboration patterns. The findings reveal a sharp growth in GHRM research, with sustainability, environmental performance, green supply chain management, and employee green behavior emerging as central themes. China, Pakistan, and Malaysia are identified as major contributors to regional scholarship. By consolidating existing knowledge and highlighting emerging trends, this study advances understanding of GHRM as a strategic component of sustainable business practices and proposes a forward-looking research agenda emphasizing interdisciplinary integration, global inclusivity, and alignment with ESG and corporate social responsibility frameworks.
